Manifolding possible mistake I made

[Rondeady]

I think I mightve topped her too much and took off the whole node. It looks now like i’ll just have two fan leaves that’ll come out and that’s it. My question is will nodes begin to grow eventually or am done for?
Also the purple pics are what they were before I topped, should I have let that grow more?

 

[Rondeady]

I meant the second topping not that main first one

Looks ok to me mate, keep going and reep the rewards

 

[OzPacks]

it doesn't matter, those 2 branches on the sides will become the tops

Your fine.. how many koalas are you doing?

 

[R Burns]

So not great. Ime, something will grow from there. They'll be slow and weak, though. How much time invested?

 

[Rondeady]

Yes

So yea its definitely growing but also definitely growing slow. Its been about 4-5 days i’ll say

I hope to get 8 but it at this rate that seems like forever

You add about a week to your grow everytime you top it.

Yes

I meant the time overall. May be quicker to start over. How old is the plant?

Looks fine to me mate, if ur main lining u don’t really want the the centre/main branch, u want them 2 branches to become your mains, u can top them again! Keep it up and good luck

Day 38

Day 38

Yikes. Should be able to get to that point much quicker. You may be better starting over. Are you sure thats a fem plant? Maybe start another along side it, in case things don't work out.

Yea my second topping was sort of an extreme topping which i shouldve just waited til my side branches grew more nodes to do. I dont mind keeping it in veg for long because i have other younger plants who are 2 weeks behind and i only have one tent.

Hey man thanks for checking up. She’s doing great, a few days ago i topped the four colas to make eight but unfortunately i couldn’t wait any longer to switch into flower so i am just mostly satisfied which is fine by me.
Also I know you supposed to tie them down which i tried and the branch almost completely broke off and you can see the little bit of tape at the base of the first node. Question.... At any time should I cut those huge bottom fan leaves off? They’re very crispy and dark green which i believe is a sign of oldness.

Looks good! TUFF plants. Trim off anything that's more than half spent.
Put my Strawberry Amnesia in flower a week ago.
Another week on the Pineapple Express.

Yeah those fan leaves can go. And u should also strip everything below the 4 nodes u just topped. The idea of mainlining is symmetry, you don't want any growth intercepting nutrients from your 8 main tops. After each time you top its ok to leave fan leaves, they power the growth of the new shoots but once the shoots are big and established the fan leaves gotta go.
